Movie Extra Tropfest is Australia’s most prestigious short film festival and one of its most iconic cultural events. It is also the largest short film festival in the world.
Now 20 years old in Australia, Tropfest is recognised for its enormous contribution to the development of the Australian film industry by providing unique platforms for emerging filmmakers through its events and initiatives, and new and expanded audiences for their work.
The annual competition attracts hundreds of entries from across Australia and around the world, culminating in the largest live film event of its kind anywhere in the world and taking place in front of a live audience of approximately 150,000 people.
The 20th anniversary festival was held across a 3-day weekend at The Domain in Sydney and other outdoor locations around Australia, as well as broadcast live on the Movie Extra channel, on Sunday 19 February 2012. The event attracted the cream of Australia’s film industry to celebrate 20 years of short film, with the judging panel including Nicole Kidman, Geoffrey Rush, Cate Blanchett and Toni Collette.
